WO FAT IS back in order to show the world how to create a massive wall of blues-tinged metallic fuzz. Each muscular riff drops like a bomb while the sonic wave pours over the listener like molten lava...
Wolfshead is a new band from Finland, but features veterans of the heavy scene in the grim North: Guitarist Ari Rajaniemi from Deliverance as well as Fall Of The Idols bassist Vesa Karppinen. Completed by singer Tero Laine and Jussi Risto on drums, the four-piece finally releases their first CD...
After the successful release of the debut album 'Wight Weedy Wight' (review here), Germany's WIGHT come up with their second full-length 'Through The Woods Into Deep Water' in 2012. In contrast to the debut, WIGHT moved away from the lysergic heaviness in favour of a more classic heavy rock sound...
Rise Above Records brings us the second album of Witchsorrow. Absolutely fitting, if we consider that both the label and the band coming from England...
Due to the fact that I have a great liking for sHeavy, I was very interested in the first self-titled album of WIZARDS OF KAOS, because that is the new band of original sHeavy guitarist Dan Moore who left his former group in 2009.

I enjoyed Conny Ochs' debut 'Raw Love Songs', which has been released in 2011 and I love Scott 'Wino' Weinrich's acoustic record 'Adrift'. Hence so much greater my pleasure when Exile On Mainstream Records announced to release an acoustic collaboration between both musicians...
Because of the cover artwork, it's obvious that Germany's WIGHT make no secret of the fact that they have a fondness for the heavy groups of the 1970's. In doing this, it seems as if these three guys were particularly attracted to early Black Sabbath but also bands as, for example, Cactus and Sir Lord Baltimore have unfold their impact; there I am quite sure...
Sometimes I take the new CD's that arrive here and listen to them on my way to the rehearsal room. In this way, my bandmate Markus gets to know new music every now and then as well...
What do you do if you need to sign in a band but it might seem like you are not the next Ronnie James Dio? You need to find other vocalists to influence you. People like Lee Dorian or Kirk Windstein for example...
